When I go out for a jog I take my HD with me for music and RunKeeper but I miss the wristband case I used to use for the iphone. The HD does not fit in there so I can't use that.
Does anyone know of a wristband type of case for the HD? Perhaps not spec. for the HD?
Cheers!
I don't think there's a wristband case for the desire hd yet . Maybe invent the idea hehe.
But there are arm band holders (go around your upper arm rather than wrist (is a big phone to have attached to wrist!!)). Saw one in the local superstore but in your country you will just have to search. Google will be your friend.

Anyone have a good recommendation?

I know, I'm a dirty pimping whore, but, I think if you look at the BH-214 (see sig), you won't need an armband.

I disagree Laygo. I will be using an armband with my BH-214. Here's why: I run. The EVO is too large to be put in my pocket (it will bang on my leg and be irritating). I also hate belt devices. Therefore, I plan on putting the EVO in the arm band, and using the BH-214 to control the EVO. It is too difficult to control it when it's on my arm (stretch my arm over, unlock the phone, find the app, change volume...its a pain).

I like it. My EVO only has a BestSkinsEver skin on it, so my EVO is basically naked. It fits snuggly in the band - it won't fall it. The band has a clear window, so I can look over and see the screen if I really wanted to.
I can't tell you if it is well-made - I've only had it for a week.

OIC
Are you just going to run with the BH-214 in your hand or something?
On the one post in my thread, I showed you can be plugged directly into the EVO with headphones & *STILL* control playback with the BH-214. Seems like you could wear a wrist band with the BH-214 clipped to it, almost like watch.
I dunno, all I know is I'm never running! I don't even run after the ice cream man . . .

Yeah, but I can imagine it bouncing around a lot. I dunno, you're the runner not me! I was just thinking about loud . . .
I was bouncing around stores looking for a decent sling bag, and I found this swiss gear one for 28 dollars after tax. It has a main pouch for the xoom, a secondary pouch for the charger and hdmi cables, and a back pouch that may be able to fit the motorola bluetooth keyboard, I'm not sure. It feels very sturdy, is a tight comfortable fit (wont bounce around while on the run), and I think is totally worth the price.
This is what I use.
The keyboard fits perfectly in the back pocket and it's cheap!!
Is this sold online at Target? Cannot seem to find it.
EDIT: Is this it?

Does the zipper close completely without trouble? Hard to tell from the photo.
I just picked one of these up. Nice inexpensive bag and Xoom fits great inside. Thanks!
See the man bag thread, this bag was mentioned along with others
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Will look for one tomorrow thanks!

yeah that's it. No zipper trouble at all. The bag has a warranty too.
I picked one of these up a couple weeks ago, just haven't had time to move in yet. Question I have after trying to move over to this bag is this. How is everyone putting their XOOM, charger and other misc. items in the bag without the worry that these other items will crack the screen on the XOOM? There's just doesn't seem to be a lot of padding for the XOOM and if say the power supply is in another pocket it could still be directly against the screen and one mishap and crack goes the screen. If you turn the XOOM around where it's facing the back, that leaves the screen open as well.
Granted I may be a bit paranoid, but there just doesn't seem like a lot of room for much else unless you want the XOOM at somewhat of a risk.
Let me know how you put your XOOM and other items into the bag, feedback appreciated.
I put my xoom, the charger, a 10 foot hdmi cable, a wii remote, and a classic controller pro in the bag. I probably wouldnt do this if I didnt have the official motorola folio case for the xoom on though.

depends how picky you want to be. i bought the LIVEstrong arm band, for i think the iphone, at radio shack and i had to drop an elbow on the phone to get it to go in but after that it's pretty sweet. comfortable, flexible, breathable and a hole for your headphones. that's all i wanted. ya mean?
I tried one for the iphone 4. They are WAY to small. You can get it in there and the hole for earplugs align, but its to hard to get in and out. Not worth it
I just put it in my back pocket, works like a charm. I don't think I've ever run across an arm-band that was big enough to holster this beast.
with more and more giant beastly phones coming out there has to be something! I found a decent sized one that fits my evo but the hole doesnt align for the headphones... its really annoying... i guess i could cut one into the right size...
Best Buy Generic Android Arm Band
I looked online, but didn't fine many options, so I went to local best buy and found a generic HTC Android arm band that has been great. I was roughly $20 and is good quality. I have the extended battery (3500mAH SEDIO) and it works like a charm. Use it when lifting, running, and elliptical and it stays put. Definitely recommend.
I went to wal mart and got a Phillips one, made for the Iphone, but it is sort of a nylon/stretchy type material, my evo fits in it great, plus the holder is thin enough you can "sort of" see through it when screen is on..I set up swype guestures w/ cm7 on the lock screen and can register my "next track" guesture through it...works good enough!
I like this one
I bought this one a while back. Fits like a glove. I tried a similar Nike strap and the EVO didn't fit and the strap was too short to go around my arm. I don't have big arms. I just think the Nike was made for a girl maybe. Anyway, here is the Amazon "link".
Black Durable Neoprene Exercise Sports Workout Armband with Adjustable Velcro Strap for Sprint HTC EVO 4G Android Smartphone
Sorry, first post. Can't post a link, but I copied and pasted this from the title of the item on Amazon.
I'm on my second arm band, and still no luck finding the right one. Anyone know if HTC sold OFFICIAL arm bands for the EVO?
I usually ride with my Camelbak.. there is a pouch in it that fits my phone just fine.. I find these sony earbuds that I got from radio shack has a long enough cord and there is no binding..
Although I have herd of some people using iPhone buds and are able to control functions like Track up or down and volume..
any thoughts?

I searched for an armband for both my Evo and iPhones in the past and found that the better solution for me was a holster case for it that holds it horizontally (landscape) on my hip. It works with shorts, sweatpants, or whatever as long as the waste band is somewhat tight or has a drawstring.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers
There are so many out there i wouldnt say any are bad unless they do not hold the phone, not too sure why you would want one for swimming as you will need to take the phone out to use it.
I didn't find anything waterproof yet (at least with a headphone socket). I now have a jabra bluetooth headset and I can use that to pause/get status from my running app so I'm less bothered about just using a ziploc bag for waterproof. (the headset is supposed to be rain-proof, and costs less than a new screen for the phone)
The included jabra armband is rubbish - needs elastic to be able to stay on my arm, so a suggestion would be good.
not exactly waterproof armband, but...
I bought an SGS2 specific neoprene armband (think it was the Belkin one) and if there's any chance of rain I first put my phone in one of those zippable/ziplock/sealable sandwich bags.
Makes it completely waterproof and the touch screen still works... although I don't know if I'd go for a swim with it...! Fine for running though.
Hi,
So I bought this universal car mount/dock from Amazon iOttie Easy One Touch Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder - it's very nice and fits my HTC One even with a protective case SUPCASE Premium Hybrid Protective Case but the problems is, It doesn't run the "Car Dock" app automatically and I also noticed that when you launch the app, It dims the phone after a minute but doesn't go stand-by. Not useful for viewing maps or listening to music. Unlike the original HTC Car Mount/Dock (which is a bit pricey) when you slide the phone in (based on Youtube Reviews - HTC Car Mount/Dock - the app launches automatically.
Usually AFAIK, most docks/mounts have magnetic contact points to these phones that launch these apps and prevents them from dimming, my questions is:
Is there a contact point on the HTC One where these apps can launch automatically? I called HTC Support and don't know anything about it.
Would appreciate your input.
Thanks!
if you can purchase some NFC tags and stick one to the mount,
The app stays on automatically when you are charging the phone and I would think with a NFC sticker you could have it automatically launch when you place your phone on the mount.
